Mercer County
No fish consumption advisory is on file for any of the 24 named waters in Mercer County.
That doesn't mean they've been cleared
Most waters in the United States have never been sampled for contaminants. An absence of an advisory means Illinois hasn't published one — not that the fish have been tested and found safe. Check Illinois Dept. of Public Health — Fish Advisories before eating your catch, and see Illinois's statewide guidance, which applies to waters with no rule of their own.
